Mortality is high in patients with acute coronary failure and cardiogenic shock. The most commonly used device for hemodynamic support is the intra-aortic balloon, which, however, may be insufficient in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. This is a case report of a patient complaining of two days of intense and oppressive chest pain, radiating to the left arm. The ECG showed ST elevation. The patient was submitted to angioplasty and stent implant in the anterior descending artery and developed cardiogenic shock refractory to vasoactive drugs and intra-aortic balloon. Hemodynamic measures were carried out and we chose to use an Impella 2.5 device, by percutaneous route, for circulatory support.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007423 Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping Counterpulsation in which a pumping unit synchronized with the patient's electrocardiogram rapidly fills a balloon in the aorta with helium or carbon dioxide in early diastole and evacuates the balloon at the onset of systole. As the balloon inflates, it raises aortic diastolic pressure, and as it deflates, it lowers aortic systolic pressure. The result is a decrease in left ventricular work and increased myocardial and peripheral perfusion.
